Disappearing Custom Careers/After-School Activities if Royalty EP installed

Careers are disappearing after the "noble" tag was created and the Royalty and Legacy pack was released.  This seems to particularly affect modded careers, such as the ones by Midnitetech and KiaraSims4Mods.   Sims will have a career one moment, and then the sim will suddenly be unemployed.  This happens in real time while the sim is being actively played.  Sometimes it appears to be triggered by the sim traveling to a different lot and sometimes it happens completely randomly.  This happens whether or not the sim has the noble tag.  In fact, in most cases where this has occurred in my saves, the noble tag was not present.

  • Many (not all) custom career mods, school/education mods (school career), custom after-school activities, and complex mods that include careers are incompatible with Royalty & Legacy after patch 1.122.

    The same set of mods that, for patch 1.121 in February, broke the SimPicker and that were not themselves updated for this problem are now, based on testing, presumed broken if Royalty & Legacy is installed.

    • Symptoms: A known symptom is that the career (etc.) is dropped when another Sim in the household travels within the neighbourhood and then control is switched to the custom-career Sim or another Sim with them who didn’t travel. No last exception error is produced.
    • Workaround: There is none. Installing Lot 51 Core Library does not bandage over this issue. Creators will need to update their mods to resolve this. Creators in the Creator Musings Discord have discussed how to do this.

    Midnitetech's game dev career, semi-active.  

    Midnitetech's SimU academic life.  Not really a career but it is having the same problems as careers.  I register my sims for university and they are dropped out a day or two later.  semi-active. 

    Kiara's Active artist career  active.  Please note that the career comes with an "artist studio" lot type and you must make an art studio for the career to work.  Sometimes this career disappears before my sim can go to work.  Sometimes they get to go to work for one day before it disappears. 

    Kiara's Pottery Career  semi-active.

    There are a few custom careers that haven't disappeared on me like fortune teller and plopsy seller.  I don't know what, if anything, is different about these.  Of course, it may be that they just haven't disappeared on me YET.

    Read somewhere that the mod doesn't allow more than one child or more than one teen from the same household to go to boarding school at a time. Having the same issue with my Sims. Not  sure if its by design or if it's a bug.

    MissMagnificent​ Do you own the Royalty and Legacy EP? I'm exploring an issue with career loss that might be related to having that EP and having careers (including school careers) that break the Sim Picker if you don't have Lot 51 Core Library. It's possible that you're seeing this issue. It would be very helpful to me to know if you have that pack!

    I'll note that a.deep.indigo hasn't cleared her mods as patch-compatible but that this mod was already not fully compatible with the Royalty & Legacy EP. 

  • I've been able to reproduce this with the KiaraSims Pottery Career (one-level rabbithole career). That was with Lot 51 Core Library installed, and with Royalty & Legacy. It took several Sim days to reproduce, but travelling with a different Sim and then switching control to the custom-career Sim did it: the Sim was now unemployed.

    I have some other tests to run before I expand my report beyond this one career, and I want to check if it happens without Royalty & Legacy installed (I suspect that it won't, based on the other issue with careers that were affected by an R&L-only bug if Lot 51 wasn't installed) and, if not, if it happens in a never-Noble household with R&L.

    MissMagnificent​ After more testing -- although I didn't test this mod (but enough others to identify the broken category) -- I'm merging you into the thread for career mods (including school careers) that are currently not compatible with Royalty & Legacy. If you don't own R&L, please do let me know!
